Creando lección...
1
You will hear a man giving a talk to new members of a wildlife club in the south of England.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13.
4
Hello.
5
I'm delighted to welcome you to our wildlife club and very pleased that you're interested in the countryside
6
and the plants and creatures of this area.
7
I think you'll be surprised at the variety we have here, even though we're not far from London.
8
I'll start by telling you about some of the parks and open spaces nearby.
9
One very pleasant place is Halland Common.
10
This has been public land for hundreds of years and what you'll find interesting is that the river Ouse,
11
which flows into the sea 80 kilometres away has its source in the common.
12
There's an information board about the plants and animals you can see here, and by the way, the common is accessible 24 hours a day.
13
Then there's Holt Island, which is noted for its great range of trees.
14
In the past, willows were grown here commercially for basket making, and this ancient craft has recently been reintroduced.
15
The island is only open to the public from Friday to Sunday
16
because it's quite small and if there were people around every day much of the wildlife would keep away.
17
From there it's just a short walk across the bridge to Longfield Country Park.
18
Longfield has a modern replica of a farm from over 2,000 years ago.
19
Children's activities are often arranged there like bread making and face painting.
20
The park is only open during daylight hours so bear that in mind if you decide to go there.
21
Before you hear the rest of the talk,
22
you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
23
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
24
Longfield Park has a programme of activities throughout the year, and to give you a sample, this is what's happening in the next few days.
25
On Monday, you can learn about herbs and how they've been used over the centuries.
26
You'll start with a tour of our herb garden, practice the technique of using them as colour dyes for cloth,
27
and listen to an illustrated talk about their use in cooking and medicine.
28
Then on Wednesday you can join local experts to discover the variety of insects and birds that appear in the evening.
29
We keep to a small number of people in the group, so if you want to go, you'll need to phone the park ranger a few days ahead.
30
There's a small charge which you should pay when you turn up.
31
I'm sure you're all keen to help with the practical task of looking after the park, so on Saturday you can join a working party.
32
You'll have a choice of all sorts of activities, from planting hedges to picking up litter, so you'll be able to change from one to another when you feel like it.
33
The rangers will be hard at work all day, but do come and join in, even for just a short while.
34
One thing though is to make sure you're wearing something that you don't mind getting dirty or torn.
35
And finally, I'd like to tell you about our new wildlife area, Hinchingbrook Park, which will be opened to the public next month.
36
This slide doesn't really indicate how big it is, but anyway, you can see the two gates into the park and the main paths.
37
As you can see, there's a lake in the northwest of the park, with a bird hide to the west of it at the end of a path,
38
so it'll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on the lake.
39
Fairly close to where refreshments are available, there's a dog walking area in the southern part of the park, leading off from the path.
40
And if you just want to sit and relax, you can go to the flower garden.
41
That's the circular area on the map, surrounded by paths.
42
And finally, there's a wooded area in the western section of the park between two paths.
43
Okay, that's enough from me, so let's get on and have a look.
44
That is the end of section two.
45
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
46
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
